Currently, it has become quieter around the MMORPG Ashes of Creation . Although an Alpha has been running in the background for a while, not much of the game has been shown so far. However, a major change is planned for December 2018.
The launch of Ashes of Creation: Apocalypse: In December, all players who are interested in Ashes of Creation will have the opportunity to test the game. A special stripped-down Free-to-Play version of the game has been announced.
This version of the game focuses on PvP. If you want to get a bit familiar with it, you can find first livestreams from the Alpha here.
The release of Ashes of Creation: Apocalypse is planned for December. A major announcement from the developers is expected this week, which could also include the exact release date for Apocalypse.
Weekly Quests for Apocalypse: In connection with the upcoming standalone game, the developers at Intrepid Studios are working on a small quest system for PvP players.
Weekly tasks include participation and victories in PvP matches, but also things like 5 headshots or collecting legendary items.
What’s next for the Alpha? In addition to the publicly accessible PvP mode, work continues in the background on the actual MMORPG. After all, PvE players should also be offered something.
The current Alpha plan provides for various PvP mode tests for the rest of the year and the beginning of 2019. However, several things are planned for the second quarter of the new year:
- Improvements to the combat system
- Leveling up to 20
- 4 races
- 8 classes
- Crafting
- Guilds
- and reserving names
New Launcher and a New Mount
CEO Steven Sharif regularly posts small pictures or videos in the official Discord of Ashes of Creation. We have gathered these little snippets for you.
The Alpha Launcher: The current launcher for the Alpha seems to be outdated. The new version looks more appealing and contains links to the website, current news, and patch notes.
New Flying Mount: In Discord, there’s also an MP4 file of a new flying mount. You can admire the new Moonlight Bird with its animation.
How do I get into the Alpha of Ashes of Creation?
While Ashes of Creation: Apocalypse will be free to play for everyone, entry into the Alpha is tied to founder packages. On the official website, you can also register for the newsletter and be drawn for the upcoming beta.
Those who do not want to rely on luck will have to dig deep into their pockets. A guaranteed participation in Beta 1 already costs $150. Those who want to access Alpha 2, which is coming in 2019, must spend $250.
